Spring Football Week 10+ around the region (FCS Playoffs)

Gronowski is a beast. How did he not end up in the B1G playing a lot closer to home? I wonder if some coaches shied away because he also played some hoops and baseball at Nequa Valley in Naperville.

I doubt that would have been an issue. I'd imagine most kids who are good enough athletes to play a "skill position" at a DI school are also likely to have played a few different sports in HS. My guess is that they reached out to him at some point in the recruiting process, but he wasn't interested in Western, so the recruiting process didn't go much further.

Man is it sweet to have a solid running game.

Sam Houston State wins the game, 23-21.

SDSU pulled ahead 21-17 on a "beast mode" 85-yard TD run by Isaiah Davis, but Sam Houston retook the lead with a TD pass with 16 seconds left in the game.
Last couple of plays for SDSU were a bit odd, but didn't get them close enough for a FG attempt as time ran out on the Jackrabbits.
